Assistant manager Max Rogers says the goalless draw with Falkirk provided a “learning tool” for adapting Motherwell’s gameplan.

The Fir Park team remain third in the table after extending their uneaten Premiership run to seven games.

Rogers insists there were “lots of positives to take” into their fixture against Livingston on Saturday.

“It’s another clean sheet and another point,” he said.

“There’s still lots of positives to take. Give credit to Falkirk, they also defended well, pressed us slightly differently than what they have done previously.

“We can use that as a learning tool as well going forward. If teams try and do a similar thing to shut us down and there’s not a different free player for us to find, then we’ve got the solution for that now. So I think that’s a positive.

“There’s obviously a lot of experienced managers in the division and they’ll want to try and stop us playing our game.

“Teams will adapt a little bit more and find new solutions to stopping us playing. So we need to obviously be switched on to that and still prepare, but be ready to react during the game. I think we did that really well.

“You saw it at the start of the second half, we got Tom Sparrow in some really good positions and got some good deliveries into the box. Maybe on a grass pitch the ball would have rolled better for us.”
